    Some good progress today. Aberaeron SB on its new base and Moorbarrow going back together. New crane proving it’s worth!

    Brilliant. Is she going into the same livery as before or will we see a different colour scheme?

    the chassis overhaul was completed by the railway with the boiler work contracted out. Having the shed has of course made a big difference.
    The team will now turn their attention to Haulwen’s chassis with that boiler due to be sent away for overhaul shortly.

    Regards
